Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Why do people answer the phone only to say "I can't talk right now I'm driving/in a meeting/in a movie theatre/being chased by hungry lions." Why?
I do that all the time. When it's someone who I do need/want to talk to, or a call I'm expecting, but I can't actually talk right now. But I can't imagine trying to make someone feel guilty about it.
Sometimes I'm not very smart.
I just folded laundry on my bed. Now I want to take a nap. That requires putting away my laundry and putting Em's in her room. I'm too lazy for that. And the pets are taking up the whole couch. Looks like I'm gonna need a hotel room.
It'll take 5 minutes vw, and then when you wake up, you'll be facing the rest of the day with fewer chores.
You're so level-headed and momish :).
When telling other people what to do? Yes.
I don't answer the phone if I don't want to have a conversation. It's just easier that way. Why does everyone not operate this way?
I feel MASSIVE guilt when I ignore the phone. I've gotten better at being able to ignore it (the phone AND the guilt), but it still nags at my conscience -- like, if someone went to the trouble to call me, they want to talk to me, and if I'm there to hear my phone ring, I owe the caller the courtesy of talking to them.
But I don't want to talk to people sometimes. It's not that I don't want to talk to that specific person for a specific reason (like: Oh NOES, it's that person I hate!) -- I just don't want to talk on the damn phone.
I make exceptions ONLY for (1) long-distance, and (2) if I know my Dad is in the hospital or has been having health problems that seem likely to land him in the hospital. *Then* I answer the phone, even if I don't want to.
I pretty much always answer the phone. I'm a gabber, as anyone who's talked to me on the phone before probably knows.
Speaking of which, I made a phone call to distract me while I put away the laundry, and now it's all put away! Go me! So, naptime.

Heh. That is so *not* my motto. t /Joey Tribbiani
Gronk.
I love Bluetooth headsets, and desperately want one. Given the fact that I also want an iPod AND a Treo, I don't think I'll be assimilated into the Borg just yet (as opposed to the b.org).
Gronk. I already said that. Yes. Bartended last night. Had hella fun.
vw has inspired me - i will put away laundry.
I do not have a bluetooth- and I get annoyed with people for expecting me to answer my cell phone. esp if I am at work . when I do not have my cell phone anywhere near me. I just don't give out the nuber often. and I always tell people - you can try it , but there is no garuntee that I will answer it. But I like my cell , it is very convienet. but for me to use, not for anyone to actually reach me.
